The principles of effective public speaking are:
• Prepare thoroughly – know your material and practice, practice, practice.
• Engage your audience – be energetic, sincere, and maintain eye contact with your audience.
• Use visual aids to illustrate key points – aids can be anything from hand gestures to slides.
• Speak to the back of the room– make sure your voice is heard in the back of the room.
• Remain passionate – show your enthusiasm for the material.
• Make sure the material is relevant – keep the material up to date with current topics and issues.
• Identify the “take home” message– make sure your audience knows your main point.
• Finish strong – tailor the close of your speech to the overall feel of your speech.
